3 2004 Marchpreface ARTE: the television channel for those with an enquiring mind

« ARTE, vivons curieux / so hab’ ich das noch nie gesehen» (ARTE, let's be curious! ). Our new slogan says it all. After all, how can one expect to move forward, make progress, if one does not take an interest in other people? That has been ARTE's raison d’être since its inception, as it still is – even more so, indeed – today. The world is going through a period of major change and upheavals. Efforts to unite Europe are proceeding at a cautious pace. In such circumstances, the role of a television channel such as ARTE must be to break down intellectual, moral and artistic barriers with programmes that open a window wide open on the world. Programmes that look beyond the immediate horizon, to places where everything is different, where one encounters other lifestyles, other ways of thinking, other beliefs. 2004 The year 2004 is the year of European enlargement, a crucial year that will offer each and every one of us a chance to push back the borders of our familiar universe. A powerful purveyor of knowledge, accessible to all, ARTE builds bridges between the different cultures and, at peak viewing times, screens films, documentaries and shows sourced from all over Europe – and even further afield. In 2004, we shall be lending a particularly attentive ear to the European Union's new Member States, and looking long and closely at Russia and the United States as these two countries become involved in their respective election processes; while the Athens Olympics will provide a springboard for a voyage of discovery, an exploration of Classical Greece and the myths and legends that are such an endless source of fascination for both young and old. With its new 2004 schedule featuring discovery, culture and Europe more prominently than ever, ARTE hopes to facilitate the pro- cess of becoming acquainted with the unfamiliar, to contribute to European integration, and to serve as a forum for the great deba- Marchtes of our day.

Jérôme Clément Dr. Gottfried Langenstein President Vice-President 5 2004 Marchprogramme New schedule, new programmes

We promised in 2003 that we would concentrate on developing a clearer, more viewer-friendly schedule. And we have kept that promise: since January 2004, our new schedule is prominently and extremely clearly displayed on everyone's screen. The evening schedule, like the afternoon schedule, is now arranged along clear, horizontal lines, based on programmes beginning at regular times. From Monday to Friday, for example, between 7 pm and 7:45 pm, ARTE shows a similar type of programme, easy to pick out and identify. From 7:45 pm to 8:15 pm, attention turns to the news. The early evening schedule takes viewers through to about 10:30/10:45 pm. The later evening programmes end with the ARTE Late Night News, at around midnight. A number of key-words describe the main themes of individual programmes: > Discover the planet with ARTE Discovery, or by watching the Saturday prime time offerings, The Human Adventure and 360° – GEO Report. Discover and share in different European lifestyles through the attractive docu-soaps screened at 8:15 pm, Monday to Friday, and the young, original lifestyle programmes in the afternoon schedule. > Keep up with the latest cultural developments. ARTE is an increasingly popular2004 forum for artists and performers: there's lots of music, dance and theatre, programmes on the visual arts and a wide range of other disciplines, mainly scheduled at the weekend when viewers are most in the mood for a bit of escapism. The new Culture Daily, shown daily between 8 pm and 8:15 pm, goes straight to the heart of the current cultural scene in Europe, focusing on the most significant developments. > A special place is reserved for analysis and interpretation of the news and world affairs, with the Tuesday Theme evening, the new ARTE Reportage slot on Wednesdays at 9:40 pm, and three news bulletins instead of one, at 6:45 pm, 7:45 pm and around midnight. Of course, a television channel consists of far more than just its programmes. It is also identified with the people presenting those programmes. This year, the familiar faces are joined by a number of newcomers: take a look through the next few pages and find out who they are! MarchARTE: a Channel very much in tune with its time, working for a curious and demanding audience. Victor Rocaries Programme Director

The role of the On-Air Department is to design, prepare and schedule ARTE's programmes. Organised around four interlinked sectors: on- screen design - promotion, scheduling, broadcasting preparation and broadcasting, the On- Air Department is staffed by technical and creative professionals. The move into the new headquarters building has brought major technological change, with the switch from the world of analogue to that of digital television: the necessary changes have resulted in an upgrading of the various tasks carried out by the On-Air Department, the aim being to achieve more effective working proce- dures and provide enhanced viewing comfort for our audiences. To accompany the new programme schedule, the On-Air Department has developed a new channel design, working in conjunction with the Munich-based VELVET agency for the image, and the NOVAPROD agency in Paris for the acoustic design. This new2004 on-screen design is based on the ideas of consistency, warmth and curiosity, our objective being to reinforce ARTE's visual and sound identity and, at the same time, inspire a greater sense of involvement and improve legi- March bility and accessibility. Television audiences The most recent surveys reveal that both French and German audiences consider ARTE as one of the most informative television channels. They feel that ARTE can best be described in terms of quality, in-depth analysis, creativity and objectivity.

Each is translated into French and German for our viewers. In addition, when programmes are broadcast in more than one language, viewers with a stereo TV set or a satellite receiver can choose which language version to watch (possibly preferring the original Marchlanguage version, where available).

ARTE (Association Relative à la Télévision Euro- péenne) was founded on 30 April 1991 as a European Economic Interest Grouping (G.E.I.E.*). It is composed of two equal Members: ARTE Deutschland TV GmbH and ARTE France. Article 2 of the contract establishing ARTE G.E.I.E. defines its role: "The objective of this grouping is to devise and make television programmes which, in a broad sense, are cultural and international in character and conducive to promoting understanding and rapprochement between the nations of Europe, and to broadcast these or to authorise their broadcasting via satellite or other means." The Head Office in Strasbourg, which includes the decision-making and advisory bodies of ARTE G.E.I.E., adopts the programming strate- gy, approves programme proposals and carries out programme2004 planning. It is responsible for broadcasting and on air promotion and provides the language services required for bilingual transmission. It also produces news, various magazine programmes and some of the theme evenings. In addition to this, ARTE G.E.I.E. works with its members to plan, coordinate and implement press and public relations activities, the development of its website and is responsible for relations with the European partners.

* The purpose of a European Economic Interest Grouping (G.E.I.E., Groupement Européen d’Intérêt Economique) is to promote cross-border cooperation and facilitate or develop the economic activity of its members. Subject to European and not national legislation, its flexible legal structure ena- March bles its members to group part of their activities whilst retai- ning their legal and economic independence.

35 The new headquarters building On 13 October 2003, ARTE inaugurated its new headquarters, located right next door to the buildings of the European institutions in Strasbourg. Coming eleven years after ARTE was launched, this event was a reflection of the success of a channel that has become an established feature on the European audio-visual scene, a celebration of a fruitful friendship between France and Germany, and a consecration of an enthusiastic and resolutely open-minded approach to the idea of Europe. On an 8,400 m2 site, the Franco-German team led by architect Hans Struhk, working together with Strasbourg-based partners Maechel. Delaunay.Yund, has produced a building of great architectural simplicity, occupying a sur- face area of some 4,800 m2. Visitors using the main entrance2004 enter a four-storey-high atrium where light, glass, wood and steel predomina- te. Such is the structure's transparency, the sky is visible through both the glass roof and the entirely glazed façade. Working areas (some 450 work stations) are grouped harmoniously around two internal courtyards – the atrium, and the hanging garden area above the studios – which constitute natural meeting places and provide natural light. Construction costs (25.6m euros) and ancillary costs (4.9m euros) have been financed in particular by reimbursable advances of funds from the Urban Community of Strasbourg, the March General Council of the Bas-Rhin region and the Regional Council of Alsace, as well as contribu- tions from ARTE France and ARTE Deutschland. Human Resources ARTE G.E.I.E. has 365 permanent members of staff. It also relies heavily on the services of freelance journalists, show-business professionals working on a contract-by-contract basis, people on limited duration employment contracts or work-based training contracts, work-experience interns, and other service providers: numbers here vary as a function of requirements. In 2003, the average age of people working for ARTE G.E.I.E. was around 38. 62 % were fema- le, 38 % male; 71 % were French, 26 % Due to ARTE's multicultural structure, the task German, 3% were of other nationalities. 73 % of encouraging staff to adhere to a common of the men and 62 % of the women held exe- corporate culture and a common corporate cutive positions. identity poses a considerable challenge – but a A survey of ARTE’s employees carried out in 2002 challenge the group intends to work on.
